			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. Using an FTP Client, such as WinSCP, Connect to your current hosting account.<br />
2. Download to your local computer all the directories and files in the following directories:</p>
<p>/fileadmin<br />
/t3lib<br />
/typo3<br />
/typo3conf<br />
/typo3temp<br />
/uploads<br />
.htaccess<br />
index.php</p>
<p>3. When the download is complete, open the /typo3conf on your local computer and delete all the files that begin with temp_<br />
4. Next, log in to the current hosting account and access your phpMyAdmin.<br />
5. Select your TYPO3 database and then click on the Export tab.<br />
6. Save the file to your local computer.<br />
7. Log in to your new host&#8217;s server with your FTP Client and upload all the TYPO3 directories and files.<br />
8. When the files are all uploaded, you will need to change the permissions recursively for /fileadmin, /typo3conf, /typo3temp, /uploads, and index.php to chmod 777.<br />
9. Create new database on new server using phpMyAdmin.<br />
10. Once a new database has been created, import the database you haveve saved on your local computer.<br />
11. Import the database.<br />
12. Open your browswer and type the following in the address bar:<br />
www.yournewsiteURL/typo3/install.</p>
<p>13. When the Install Tool login appears, type in your Install Tool Password and press the Log in Button.(Install tool password will be same as your old site install tool password).<br />
14. Next, click the Basic Configuration link.<br />
15. Scroll down the page to the Directories List to ensure all the TYPO3 directories are writable.<br />
16. In FTP edit your localconf.php<br />
$typo_db_username = &#8216;user_name&#8217;;        // Username of the newly created database.<br />
$typo_db_password = &#8216;password&#8217;;           // Password for newly created database.<br />
$typo_db_host = &#8216;new.host&#8217;;                     // New host.<br />
$typo_db = &#8216;database_name&#8217;;                  // Newly created Database name.<br />
17. Login to your site&#8217;s typo3 backend by typing www.yournewsiteURL/typo3<br />
18. Login username and password are same as with the old site.<br />
19. Now you should see all the pages are transferred.<br />
20. Click on &#8220;Templavoila&#8221; and then &#8220;Update mapping&#8221;.<br />
21. Type www.yournewsiteURL . Now you should see the content in front end.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we try to logout from an access restricted page, we will see either a 404 (Page not found) or a 401 (Authorization required) error. <br/>This issue seems quite old, but unfortunately there are still some bugs when we use the Logout template of the felogin.</p>
<p>The issue is reproduceable even on Typo3 4.2.8, I am not sure if this is fixed on 4.3 onwards.</p>
<p>There is a patch that we can use to patch felogin as given on the following URL: <br/><a href="http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=8677">http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=8677</a></p>
<p>Due to various reasons it may not always be possible to patch. <br/>In such circumstances it is wiser to use an alternate technique, such as creating the Logout link manually. <br/>One such example is:</p>
<blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr">
<pre>
[loginUser = *]  

lib.logoutbox = COA
lib.logoutbox {
    20 = TEXT
    20 {
       data = TSFE:fe_user|user|username
       # link to account edit page
       stdWrap.typolink.parameter = 60
    }
    30 = IMAGE
    30 {
        file = fileadmin/templates/images/logout.gif
        stdWrap {

             # Let us link to home page for logging out
             typolink.parameter = 1
             typolink.additionalParams = &amp;logintype=logout
             wrap =  |
         }
    }
}

[end]
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>In this example I am displaying the logged in username (which links to user account page) followed by a working logout button.</p>
<p>N<strong>ote: <br/>- Here we are not using the felogin plugin. <br/>- Do not link the logout button to any access restricted page.</strong></p>
<p>The following page from Typo3wizard might be useful for displaying more user-details if needed: <br/><a href="http://www.typo3wizard.com/en/snippets/cool-stuff-typoscript/userinfo-for-currently-logged-in-user.html">http://www.typo3wizard.com/en/snippets/cool-stuff-typoscript/userinfo-for-currently-logged-in-user.html</a> <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article explains how easily we can get Tabs in the content elements of type &#8220;insert records&#8221;.</p>
<p>Generally we will need to edit tca.php and ext_tables.php.</p>
<p>To be more specific it involves adding two parameters.</p>
<p>1. Specify that you are using dividers to tabs &#8220;dividersstabs&#8221; <br/>2. Mark all tabs using &#8211;div&#8211;</p>
<p>Let us see how.</p>
<h4>1. Specify that you are using dividers to tabs &#8220;dividersstabs&#8221;</h4>
<p>In the TCA array first look at the start of table definition. Generally this is located</p>
<blockquote><p>EX: <br/></p>
<pre>
$TCA['tx_myext_table] = array (
        'ctrl' =&gt; array (
                'title' =&gt; 'LLL:EXT:myext/locallang_db.xml:tx_myext_table,
                'label' =&gt; 'title',
                'tstamp' =&gt; 'tstamp',
                'crdate' =&gt; 'crdate',
                'cruser_id' =&gt; 'cruser_id',
                'languageField' =&gt; 'sys_language_uid',
                'transOrigPointerField' =&gt; 'l10n_parent',
                'transOrigDiffSourceField' =&gt; 'l10n_diffsource',
                'sortby' =&gt; 'sorting',
                'delete' =&gt; 'deleted',
                'dividers2tabs' =&gt; TRUE,
                'enablecolumns' =&gt; array (
                        'disabled' =&gt; 'hidden',
                ),
                'dynamicConfigFile' =&gt; t3lib_extMgm::extPath($_EXTKEY).'tca.php',
                'iconfile' =&gt; t3lib_extMgm::extRelPath($_EXTKEY).'icon_tx_myext_table.gif',
        ),
);
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>In the above config you can see that <strong>&#8216;dividers2tabs&#8217; is set to TRUE</strong></p>
<pre>
2. Mark all tabs using --div--
</pre>
<p>This is the step in which you would group all fields into different Tabs. This generally involves editing the TCA config usually locatd in tca.php. <br/></p>
<pre>
In tca.php, look the section showitem, and add --div--;Tab Name,
</pre>
<blockquote>
<pre>
EX:
'types' =&gt; array (
        '0' =&gt; array(
                'showitem' =&gt; '--div--;General,
                                sys_language_uid;;;;1-1-1, l10n_parent,
                                l10n_diffsource, hidden;;1,
                                --div--;Content,title;;;;3-3-3, parentid,top_page,content,
                                --div--;Header and Footer,footer,
                                background_image,background_align'
                )
),
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>As you can see I have added 3 tabs, General, Content, Header and Footer. <br/></p>
<pre>
The idea is to add --div--; (two hypen followed by div and two hyphen and semicolon)
</pre>
<p><br/>After semicolon add the &#8220;Title of your tab&#8221; and followed by a comma. <br/></p>
<pre>
This section <strong>--div--;Tab Name,</strong> must be added just before a field, or after a field ends.
</pre>
<p>That should be it.</p>
<p>Happy coding.</p>

<p>In case of multi-domain setup there are various ways you can achive this:</p>
<p>1. By adding the above code in the Typoscript Template Record of root page for each domain.</p>
<p>2. If same root page is used used for 2 domains we can write a conditional statement and check the domain, and change the Favicon. <br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By default the color picker woudl be enabled in the Typo3 RTE. However, on some cases this may be disabled. Here is a quick overview on how to re-enable it in such cases.</p>
<ol>
<li>You are unable to see the color picker, that means you need to add it to the list of available buttons. <br/>This can be done by adding &#8220;textcolor&#8221; to the list of existing buttons in showButtons property. <br/>ex: <br/>RTE.default.showButtons = &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.. textstyle, bold, italic, textcolor <br/><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">(NOTE: The order here is not important) <br/></span></li>
<li>You should also remove the &#8220;textcolor&#8221; from the list of buttons in the hideButtons property. i.e. from RTE.default.showButtons = <br/></li>
<li>Place the &#8220;textcolor&#8221; button in a suitable place of your preference using the toolbarOrder property. <br/>ex: <br/>RTE.default.toolbarOrder = &#8230;. space, textstyle, textcolor, &#8230;etc&#8230;. <br/></li>
<li>Check if color picker is enabled or not, by making sure that &#8220;disableColorPicker&#8221; is set to 0 <br/>ex: <br/>RTE.default.disableColorPicker = 0 <br/></li>
<li>RTE might use the font tag to set colors, we can make sure that this does not happen by addin the font tag to the list of tags to be removed. <br/>ex: <br/>RTE.default.removeTags = font <br/></li>
<li>After following step 5, the font tags are no longer used for specifying font colors, hence we should make sure to set the useCSS property to true, otherwise the colors would not appear on the front-end, nor they are saved. <br/>ex: <br/>RTE.default.useCSS = 1 <br/><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">(NOTE: If you wish to use font tags for text coloring thisfeature need not be set)</span> <br/><br/>Hope these steps would be helpful to you!</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Additional Notes: <br/></strong>The above steps are sometimes just not enough and you also need to make sure that the property &#8220;[allowStyleAttribute]&#8221; is enabled in the rtehtmlarea Extension&#8217;s configuration as shown in the screenshot. <br/><img src="http://blog.chandanweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/zrclip_001n386bebc9.png" style="WIDTH: 497px; HEIGHT: 273px" height="391" width="855"/></p>
<p>An issue Related Typo3 Update:</p>
<ul>
<li>When typo3 is upgraded from 4.2 to 4.3 no matter what we do, colorpicker just does not get displayed. <br/>To solve this you will need to remove the rtehtmlarea config array in the localconf.php manually! <br/>- Just delete the line $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXT']['extConf']['rtehtmlarea'] = &#8230;&#8230;etc&#8230;. <br/>- Go to rtehtmlarea configuration in Extension manager and click &#8220;Update&#8221; to save the new config. <br/>This should now make the textcolor to appear again.</li>
</ul>
